Mujahid Calls on Nations to Recognize Afghanistan Without External Pressure

Mujahid calls on countries, like Russia, to independently establish good relations with Afghanistan, without considering pressure from powerful countries.

More than four and a half years have passed, and so far, except for Russia, no country has recognized the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate told TOLOnews that the reason is that some countries are not yet ready to engage with Afghanistan.

Zabihullah Mujahid calls on countries, like Russia, to independently establish good relations with Afghanistan, without considering pressure from powerful countries.

Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, said: “We want other countries to also be independent in their calculations and decisions, and decide to establish good relations with Afghanistan.”

In part of his remarks, Mujahid, without naming any country, said that the intelligence agencies of some countries share incorrect information with the region and the world to create concerns about Afghanistan’s security, while according to him, this information belongs to the period before the Islamic Emirate returned to power in Afghanistan.

He insists that currently, there is no active armed group in Afghanistan that poses a threat to the world.

Zabihullah Mujahid said: “Before the Emirate, during the previous administration in Kabul and the presence of the United States, it had been predicted that there were 20 groups in Afghanistan, and they had even included the Islamic Party of Afghanistan among them.”

He also emphasized the presence of Islamic Emirate representatives in regional and international meetings, adding that participation in meetings can respond to concerns and properly reject baseless propaganda.

Mujahid adds that the Islamic Emirate’s policy in the war between Iran and the United States is neutral, and it has called for an end to the war.
